Stating that the Mahadevappa Rampure Medical College run by Hyderabad Karnataka Education Society (HKES) has not been paying full stipend to postgraduate doctors for the last several years, Right to Information (RTI) activist Sharanabasappa Ambesinghe demanded that the Kalaburagi Police register a case against the college and investigate the irregularities.
Addressing a press conference in Kalaburagi recently, Mr. Ambesinghe produced a memorandum written by postgraduation students to HKES president, demanding regular payment of stipend.
Postgraduation students in the college are paid ₹45,000 stipend for the first year, ₹50,000 for the second year and ₹55,000 for third year. Mr. Ambesinghe said that technically, the stipend is shown as fully paid on paper, but the students are receiving only a small amount of it.
